Joe,
Let me first apologize for my intemperate reply to your statement about
"anything else is just a light." I'm sure if I had taken a bit more time in
replying I could have come up with a much better way to say 'I think you're
full of it' than "patently absurd." <g>
One of the really nice things about AutoCAD is that it is exceptionally
programable and therefore there are usually several different ways to
accomplish similar things with it. If AME suits your working methodology, and
you believe it's the best way to model architecture, go for it. I just object
when this opinion is presented as 'my way is the only way', when, in fact, we
know it isn't even a _good_ way most of the time.
Now, in your other messages today, you are getting dangerously close to an even
higher level of arrogance when you imply your architecture is somehow a "true"
architecture, and those architects who use tools other than your chosen tool
are creating a lesser level of 'extruded, cardboard architecture'. the sake of
creating good architecture… I'm sure all us licensed architects out here know
_exactly_ what you are saying…
Let me say, politely, and after due consideration of how to say it nicely, and
with a _big_ smile: I think you're full of it, Joe. <bg>
Take care,
Michael
